British artist Tris Vonna-Michell’s co-conspiratorial and dynamic performance Tall Tales and Short Stories took place in Dispatch’s compact storefront on Henry Street. Over a period of four days he told each visitor that stopped by a customized tale, redefining the tradition of storytelling with a Fluxus-inspired lexicon of deconstructivist semiotics and discontinuous, fragmented images.

Chris Marker is an acknowledged master of montage, and although still imagery has figured prominently in his films since 1963, when he directed the iconic science fiction parable, La Jeteé, his photographs have just been shown for the first time. These portraits and group shots crackle with the contrast between black and white, society and individual.
